John Goodman played McClintock (pictured above) in the movie, a tough-as-nails exterminator whose tongue-in-cheek humor, bug-battling weapons, and take-no-prisoners...er, spiders attitude save a small town from an 8-legged plague. Lewis, meanwhile, plays a mysterious millionaire whose "Garry's Angels" manage his apartments in a long-running series of television commercials.

A well-known videographer armed with his own weapons, including a 300 mm camera lens "that coulda zoomed in on nose hairs from the street," Baker has chronicled his experience with arachnophobia -- fear of spiders -- on film, video, and in Facebook posts that combine humor with horror.

Confronted with the spidery dilemma, the apartment manager -- who won't end the lease -- told his daughter "to suck it up, not be a baby, and seek counseling. I have this in writing," Baker explains. On paying a visit himself, the same manager "came out yelling and physically hit me with her fist before I called the police."

After this video encounter, Columbia police officers arrested Baker for trespassing. He says the complaint against him is a "lie" because he was never on private property.

Finally, all those spiders. Baker has photographed oodles of them, curdly, spindly, nasty little recluses whose bite can take off a limb.
